To make marinade, add scallions, ginger, lime juice, coconut aminos, and red pepper flakes to a shallow dish.
Place the flank steak into the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour, and up to 12 hours (refrigerate if >2 hours).
Steak can be cooked on the grill or on the stovetop.
To cook on the grill, preheat your grill to high heat.
Set the steaks on the grill and allow to sear on each side undisturbed for 3-7 minutes depending on the level of doneness you desire (test with meat thermometer; rare = 120°F, medium-rare = 125°F, medium = 130°F).
Do not take a flank steak past medium as it will continue to cook when taken off the heat source and will easily get tough if overcooked.
To cook on the stove, remove from marinade and pat the steak surface dry with paper towels.
Coat both sides of the steak liberally with salt and pepper.
Heat skillet to searing hot, then add oil and swirl to distribute.
Lay the steak in the pan and allow to sear on each side undisturbed for 3-7 minutes depending on the level of doneness you desire (again, use a meat thermometer, and don't overcook it; rare = 120°F, medium-rare = 125°F, medium = 130°F).
For either method, once cooked, set flank steak on a platter to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into thin strips across the grain and serve.
